How to License SQL Server Enterprise
PER CORE:
Gives a more precise measurement of computing power and a more consistent metric, regardless of whether solutions are deployed on physical servers, on-premises, or in virtual/cloud environments.
Core-based licensing is appropriate when customers are unable to count users/devices, have Internet/Extranet workloads, or have systems that integrate with external-facing workloads.
To license a physical server—when running SQL Server in a physical OSE—all physical cores on the server must be licensed.
A minimum of four core licenses are required for each physical processor on the server.
